What is an Average Settlement in Ohio for a Herniated Disk / Disc Claim in a Car Accident?
I am often asked what a herniated disc injury is worth. If I tell you $20,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars, this does not really answer the question.

This is a very complicated question that involves many factors. For instance, a few issues that must be resolved are: • How many herniated discs do you have? More discs mean more money usually. • Where are the herniated discs located on the spine? • How large are the herniated discs? Larger is usually worse. • What treatment was needed? More medically necessary treatment usually means more pain and suffering. • Are the discs new or old? • Did you fully recover? i.e. was your treatment successful? • How has the injury affected your life physically, emotionally, financially? • Are the discs extruded?
